From my personal collection - purchased between 1985-1989....I cant say exactly what year.... in the US - from Jacobson\'s. Original retail was about $750-$850 back THEN. Very good condition - has been boxed the last few years - I need to start liquidating! - New 30\" inchers appear to go for about $1000 + these days. From Non smoking home. The gold paint on his head/hat is perhaps somewhat faded.(? I am not sure.....but looks a little off perhaps...)...but overall, he looks great! THIS IS A BIG ONE and from GERMANY - not China. (Not that there is anything wrong with those - I have some of those too). On the Christian Ulbricht website it seems they call over 30-31\" EXTRA LARGE. I am getting too old to display my huge collection and want to see him go to a good home, for many years to come!
